The Narrowbar Cafe in Eden

Lovely little restaurant, friendly and efficient staff, food was lovely too! We weren't expecting to be served as promptly as we were as it was very busy! Great all round experience.

Visited for lunch today and had a lovely lunch with my friend. The young man that served us was very jolly and welcoming it was a lovely change to see happy staff enjoying their job, seems rare these days. We will definitely be calling again on our ladies day out.

Great lemon cake and lotus rocky road!! Nice smoothie and tea too! Great for a mid day pick me up. We would definitely return if back in Penrith!

The food was absolutely amazing! Very quick to come out with some great portions and very reasonable priced. However, it wasn't the most welcoming atmosphere as although it was clearly very busy, the staff would rush us and and weren't too friendly. Despite this, it was great food and would recommend.

Called in for brunch. Busy little place but luckily got a table for 4. Great full English and vegan breakfasts, good coffee, good service. Dog friendly too.

Came across this lovely cafe in Penrith. Stopped for coffee and a snack mid morning. Lovely coffee, fabulous scrambled eggs on toast, tasty tea cake. The cafe has a wide range of food and the prices were very reasonable. Good service too.

Nice little find staff were brilliant and food was really good lots of choice. Latte's were really lovely and toasted tea cakes brilliant

We called in about 4.20pm for a quick coffee and cake. We were informed no hot food was available as they close at 4.30pm. Even though we were last minute, the service was excellent and polite. Also the coffee was excellent. We'll be back.

Fantastic offering of plates with hearty servings! Great specials and coffee too. Dog friendly which was a bonus :)

our second visit to this fantasic cafe, the food is freshly cooked to order with generous portions. What truly stands out is their expertise regarding allergens present in their dishes; they treated our allergies with utmost seriousness, allowing us to relish our meal with confidenc, would defo recommend!

Very good quality food. Excellent service. Clearly not frozen and reheated. Ploughman’s was great with fresh baked-warm bread.

Excellent Cafe with friendly staff! We were served with the largest toasted teacakes we have ever had and they were excellent and also the coffee. They also serve a wide range of homemade regional food so do keep them in mind if you are stopping off in this lovely town of Penrith with very reasonable prices!

I went here today for a bite to eat, it looked really nice. The service was great, coffee great but my poached eggs tasted/looked like boiled eggs. I did mention this when I went to pay but the waitress didn’t reply with an apology or nothing. It wasn’t her fault, but an apology would have sufficed! Won’t be returning.

Great homemade Gluten Free cake and great coffee and you can choose your size cup, so no oversized cup, staff lovely, although our dog tried to eat you! Until the treats came 👍

Found this via TripAdvisor and the reviews were correct! Lovely staff, tasty food and good atmosphere. They were also AMAZING when it came to catering for people with food allergies, they probably don't realise how good they are. I'd definitely recommend this place

Lovely cafe, cheery staff, extra seating upstairs, front and back entrances. Baileys latte, tea, scone with jam & butter, double chocolate Brownie £14. Dog friendly and smelled of dog, otherwise would have got a 5. Two toilets, chilly but clean.

Amazing food, good coffee and even though I wouldn’t call it cheap, it is definitely worth the price. Highly recommend the club sandwich

Went for our lunch today My sister is a regular not so much myself I chose Mozzarella Tom & Pesto Salad Presentation was beautiful & it tasted even better. Absolutely fantastic meal & had some lovely chit chat with the Staff I will be back Thank you Narrowgate

The best café in Penrith! Dog friendly and great food. Perfect for a coffee, light bite or something more filling. Regular menu has plenty of choice but they also have daily specials as well. Great service and always welcoming. My go to place for a nice lunch in town

On a very wet day in October we went into the cafe and we were instantly welcomed which made the gloomy day brighter. They moved chairs so that we could sit our yellow Labrador in the cafe and treated him like a star. The food was great and freshly prepared and the cakes to finish made for a glorious day. General ambiance was welcoming and a really good buzz filled the air. We will be back!

Our third visit to this fantastic little café. Friendly, welcoming happy staff who are only to pleased to help. Fantastic coffee and extremely squidgy brownies. Need I say more. Even our little doggies got a treat 👏🏼👏🏼

Visited for brunch and we both enjoyed the eggs Benedict. A fuss was made of our dog. Service was friendly and efficient. Exactly what we needed.

Sat outside and watched the world go by. Order inside and they bring items to you (including free doggy treats). Busy on a bank holiday weekend.

Ordered a tea cake and a smoothie which were nice and it was a bit too sunny so they set up an umbrella to give us shade. We didn't even ask, so that was nice.

Amazing food with a good range for vegetarians and vegan options. Goats cheese panini and curly fries are delicious. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting in Penrith. Lovely service too

Called in here for breakfast this morning. I had the Eggs Benedict which was delicious especially the Hollandaise sauce and my hubby had the Monster Breakfast which he said was one of the nicest breakfasts he’d had in a long time. Lovely coffee also but...

Lovely food, reasonably priced and great service. We had the avocado toast & lamb kofta wrap which were delicious. Looking forward to coming back soon!

It's a family tradition to stop at Penrith for breakfast at The Narrowbar when travelling south and once again we were delighted with the food, service and value of this place. The fact that you can be in Penrith (a lovely town) almost as quick...

Lovely little cafe with great service. Had a delicious panini with curly fries and there were lots of other options. Great spot for vegetarians like myself!

Great food. We had one veggie falafel and hummous wrap and one roasted veggie wrap. Delicious food. Quick and friendly service. Range of cakes looked lovely too but didnt try this time.

Easy to understand COVID guidelines. The food was very nice and staff are very helpful. Keep up the great work

Food was really tasty. Service was quick. My only comment is that plastic straws are now banned in England, therefore I was very surprised to find one in my drink and that they were being used within the cafe. Hopefully this will be taken on...

Visited the Narrowbar a couple of times, whilst staying in the area. Food was served promptly, and the staff were all attentive and helpful. Social distancing was good, and hand sanitizers were plentiful. Overall, could not be faulted.

Absolutely beautiful lunch, I had quiche and my partner club sandwich. Fresh salad, good service. Love it!

I am a bit of a foodie and this was the nicest cooked breakfast I've ever had! Everything was such high quality and cooked to perfection. We had a holiday booked to Penrith for ages and it turned out to be during the eat out...

Highly recommend the club sandwich. Fresh and really tasty. Boys loved their milkshakes and the dog loved her treats and a much needed drink of water. Really friendly staff and covid friendly. A perfect place for lunch.

Llegamos después de las 3 pm pero en el menú decía claramente que las comidas se servían hasta las 4 pm. Pedimos que nos dijeran la comida, a las 3. 30 pm que el chef estaba cansado y se negó a cocinar más comidas. ¡Nunca en mi vida me han dicho que básicamente el chef no se puede molestar! ! ! ! Así que decidí comer un bollo de frutas, ninguno disponible. Hecho con pastel.Habíamos buscado salones de té en Penrith y este recibió buenas críticas. . . . . ¡No volveremos!

Lovely breakfast and big pot of tea! We were able to sit outside too! With 50% off it was very cheap!

We visit whenever we can. We've been hiding indoors a lot for a while but now out and about again. The Narrowbar is as excellent as ever. Consistently friendly service. Plenty of variety on the menu and specials board. Never had a duff meal, and they have the knack of getting the coffee just right.

Popped in for a light bite and was certainly not disappointed. Ordered the pea, mint and spring onion soup and if was delicious and homemade.The staff where very polite and friendly. The cafe was extremely clean and appropriate measures where in place and where very surprised when we asked for the bill as they had already deducted the GOV.uk discount . Will definitely recommend and look forward to eating here again.

Been here quite a few times now and every experience has been great! Friendly staff, all sorts of homemade cakes & goodies, lovely coffee.. what more could you want? The chocolate brownie sundae is a match made in heaven. The full English breakfast is always a go-to in the morning, and you can’t beat a jacket potato or panini for lunch! Whether you’re coming for breakfast, lunch or a mid day snack, this is the best place to go in the heart of Penrith.

Lunch for two. Decent vegan menu. Dairy alternatives. Food was very nice, home cooked and tasty. Generous potions. Service was friendly and quick. Coffee and tea were good. Very tasty scone. Thoroughly recommended.

Un pequeño restaurante (estrecho) muy práctico y "hecho en casa" con comida casera y pasteles. Lo encontramos perfecto para repostar durante las compras en Penrith.El estacionamiento en Penrith necesita pensar seriamente (despertar EDC) pero eso dice que es nuestra "gran ciudad" local y apoyamos a las empresas locales. . . Es una pena que los planificadores no lo hagan y espero que sobreviva.La barra estrecha es muy recomendable.

I have a pet hate about lukewarm coffee and strange-shaped mugs. You have nothing to worry about at the Narrowbar Cafe. The coffee not only tastes great but it is delivered quickly and efficiently, piping hot and in normal looking crockery! A great relief after a stressful shopping session in Penrith!The place would get 5 stars if the personnel were a little more friendly. A smile goes a long way for weary travellers!

Been here a few time now and the food and the service is always great. Would highly recommend giving it a try if you are lucky enough to get a seat that is

Pequeña cafetería encantadora. Visitamos en un día húmedo y ventoso de enero, pero el lugar estaba a tope. Mi esposo pidió una ensalada ploughmans y tuve la ensalada bruschetta de queso de cabra. Ambos estaban deliciosos con mucha ensalada y todos bien vestidos y presentados. Solo algunas críticas menores fueron que la bruschetta era dos rebanadas de queso de cabra derretidas en una rebanada de tostada blanca ordinaria cortada por la mitad en diagonal, que no es lo que pienso de bruschetta y solo había un escaso trozo de jamón en los arados. Dicho esto, ambos disfrutamos nuestras comidas y nos encantaría volver a visitarlo si estamos en la zona

¡Qué pequeño y encantador café! Un día tuvimos sopa y pan hechos en casa, que estaba delicioso, la segunda vez que llamamos teníamos papas al horno con chile y ensalada, que era encantadora, muy bien presentada. Café de buena calidad y deliciosos pasteles caseros, ¿quién podría pedir más?Definitivamente regresaremos.

We stopped for lunch on our way to holiday in Scotland. It was the perfect little lunch break, sat outside in the sunshine, the service was so friendly and the food was fresh and really tasty. I had the quesadilla special and was sad when it was over!

Food was great as usual staff helpful and friendly and although it was busy the service was fast and freshly made.

We stumbled across this while visiting Penrith and also didn’t want to be wandering round for ages trying to find somewhere to eat so settled on here as we were walking past. We were both delighted by the range on the menu, exceptionally fresh produce and brilliant service. Well worth a visit for lunch!

Dog friendly cafe with beautiful cakes and coffee. We spotted the lovely cafe when staying in Penrith with our two dogs. Staff very friendly, providing biscuits and water for the dogs while we tucked into freshly baked cakes. Had a lot to choose from and everything around us that people were eating looked delicious

What a nice little find. dog friendly always a plus. very friendly and a lovely coffee accompanied by two dog biscuits.

Excellent find. Stumbled across this cosy little cafe while in search of breakfast and was bowled over at the huge bowl of porridge that arrived. Attentive service. Would recommend to anyone.

It was wonderful to find a cafe that made not only gluten free cakes but also dairy free ones. My husband is gf and I'm df. Gluten cakes are much easier to find but not dairy so I had a really lovely treat. I would really recommend the Narrowbar Cafe

Nuestra fiesta de seis personas disfrutó de un delicioso desayuno inglés completo en el Narrowbar Cafe hoy. El servicio fue excelente, el personal amable y servicial, y el menú excelente. El café también era genial. Volveremos la próxima vez en los lagos del norte. En general muy impresionado y un café amigable para perros. !

We stumbled across this cafe, was welcomed warmly with out two dogs. Was a great choice , 2 x steak burgers , 1 club sandwich and 1 lamb kofta wrap. All delicious, 4 clean plates .The waitress brought water and biscuits for the dogs. Will definitely be going back to try the cakes when not so full.

We only had drinks so I can't comment on the food. They were overpriced. £2.50 for a can of coke? £4 for an ice cream float? Also, there was no wifi which, these days, isn't really acceptable.

We were really glad that we just managed to find a table on a busy Friday lunch time, as the food was very good. Portion sizes good and quality excellent. Service was good but a bit slow due to the amount of folk ordering at the same time but it was definitely worth the small delay.

Just by chance went in there as in a rush.

We were able to grab a table in the sunshine at the back on the semi-pedestrianised street. Superb Mediterranean Salad and stuffed full goats cheese panini. Can only recommend!!

Lovely little cafe, nice ambience, delicious food. We had a veggie special and great coffee. Highly recommend.

£2.50 is not okay for the price of a singular can of Coke Cola. The lattes were nice and hot but honestly, the price for food seemed high and again, £2.50 for a can of Coke is not acceptable.

This cafe is consistently good - we have never had a bad meal here and coffee also great. They cater for intolerances well.

Nuestra parada habitual para almorzar cuando estamos en Penrith - consistentemente buena, interesante comida, con un montón de opciones sin gluten y vegetarianas (vegana también, creo). El café también es bueno! No es un lugar enorme, por lo que puede sentirse un poco lleno a veces, ¡pero siempre nos las arreglamos para conseguir un asiento!

We had lunch here today and it was again really nice. We ordered sandwiches which came with a lovely side salad and coleslaw and some curly fries to share. The food arrived really quickly and the staff were very friendly, would recommend and will eat here again.

Enjoyed visiting this cafe recently. Had a beautiful gluten free cake. My friend had a delicious lemon drizzle. Service was good. Waitresses friendly. Would definitely return again when visiting penrith.

Very friendly cafe, lovely food and good choices. Totally dog friendly. Plenty of seating, outside or in.

spent the day in Penrith found this little cafe as we had our dog with us, what lovely people we had a lovely breakfast and they also made sure our little dog had water and treat , we where so impressed with the friendliness of the staff we went back for lunch food is very nice , that will do our stop in Penrith from now on like its name says it is a narrow bar but well worth going

Tucked away in the centre of town this is a great place for lunch. I have visited many times and not been disappointed. The food is varied and interesting and the staff very helpful. A friend with dairy and gluten intolerance was able to adapt what she ordered to suit her needs without any problems.

Looking for a dog friendly cafe in Penrith we were happy to find this welcoming little place. Had a great bowl of soup with a hot roll. Would certainly return when we come back to Penrith.

Dropped in late afternoon while on a road trip home.

Popped in for a light lunch - lovely soup, and the rest of the menu looks good! Nice staff and dog friendly. Worth a visit.

We were recently on a flying visit to Penrith. Having stayed in a Travelodge we saw that this was a dog friendly place we could go for breakfast with the pooch. Nice interior. Friendly welcome with table service. Water and treats were offered for the hound which is always a nice personal touch. The sausage sandwiches were excellent - good quality meat and no cash and carry bangers here. Coffee was excellent and strong, as we like it. It's one of those places were we'd be regulars if we lived locally.

Nice cafe in Penrith with a surprisingly large choice of lovely food. Goats cheese bruscheta salad was really yummy! Enjoyed by all x

Nunca había estado en Penrith antes y este lugar fue recomendado para el desayuno en Trip Advisor, ¡así que gracias! Definitivamente vale la pena una visita. Inglés completo fue excelente calidad y un muy buen precio. Sus pasteles parecían fabulosos, estaba limpio y el personal era amable y profesional.

A beautiful intimate cafe with friendly service. Food looks delicious and home made with lots of freshly baked cakes etc. Nicest looking cafe in Penrith just off the Main Street.

Good all round cafe with a good atmosphere. Food was good and as well as service. Nice art/photos of the wall.

Con un amargo ala de otoño soplando a través de Penrith, era hora de almorzar y descongelarse.

We popped in for a bite to eat and had a full English each. The bacon and sausages were locally sourced and top quality, the food was piping hot, and the service was great. Definitely would recommend.

點了今日湯點，搭配的麵包很柔軟好吃，蕃茄洋蔥湯，湯好和，番茄味重，小店很溫馨，廁所乾淨，價格合理，朋友點了豆子馬鈴薯加起司。

Easily, Narrowbar is the best cafe in penrith. Has the most friendly staff and the curly fries are INSANE. me and my family go mostly every weekend and cannot reccomend this place enough. Owners are lovely and all staff are super friendly and make the best food. Go narrowbar you will not be dissapointed!!!

This café is brilliantly located in the very centre of Penrith.

We had coffee and some snacks here just before it closed for the day. The service is excellent and the food are home made. A good place to relax and sip some coffee!

Often pop in for a snack / coffee / breakfast, depends what time of day it is, always very nice with welcoming staff. It's our go to place if we have Vegetarian friends visiting, they too always enjoy the food on offer. If it looks full downstairs there are further tables upstairs so ask the girls or have a look for yourself.

Just got in before closing time for a quick snack and drink. Lovely Lavazza coffee and a good cup of tea. Had a Jammie Dodger Blondie, yes that's right, and the most gorgeous cheese scone and butter ever. Reasonably priced. The menu is not huge, but caters for all tastes and needs. There is a specials board, which I would like to have sampled, but was too late in the day. Had everything my husband hates, but I love. A really great find.

My partner is a coffee conesseur and a vegetarian to boot so finding this cafe was fantastic. He reports the coffee is to die for and my tea was good. He also really enjoyed his veggie breakfast and this is the only cafe he has ever recommended. The staff are really friendly to and everything is good value for money.
